And this is supposed to help, why exactly? This add-on is just not available, currently, and neither is the possibility to disable that option.

Wtf. btw., is exactly what I've been wondering since the very day, FF57 was released.

I have version 6.19 installed. I can still translate full web pages without problems. The thing that changed is that I can't translate comments on Instagram anymore. And the floating box is nonexistent now. I tried the recovery method several times. I still can't translate the comments. Any suggestions?

not my part to explain details for you in special you never had understood it, i know your questions from camp-firefox where you always took the blame because of your attitude. if you dont know how to deactivate the stats option, then let it explained you from Oleksander, but he already did that in this thread, maybe he will cite it four you again.

No-one needs a Chrome clone.

thats what i tried to tell you - your attitude towards webextensions lacks knowledge - firefox and blink based browser share the same extension code thus those are same or similar.

@ BrummelchenIt seems too difficult for you to understand, doesn't it?Nobody can deactivate an option of an unavailable addon, which, because of its unavailability, cannot be installed.Again: This addon is currently not available among the Mozilla addons, which is the most relevant page for users looking for addons.And this addon won't be available again, as long as it keeps containing the mentioned stat feature, so, from my point of view there's only one sensible solution, i.e. by removing the stat feature, done by Oleksandr, sorry.

About "my attitude":I don't consider it my business as a user to learn coding css and js, or whatever, but it is however the developers job to create something, all users, even those without coding skills, can handle FF with all its flexibility and comfort that FF was known for many years.

Look at the fast descending market share of FF 57+ and at how many people, i.e. users AND addon developers, gave up on FF, already, and (maybe!) you'll see, there's something going severely wrong at Mozilla these days.

The problem is not my attitude (stop stating such lies!), but the lack of usability within FF57+.

Being forced to create scripts and files and folders or whatever, sucks as hell. In previous FF's you just solved such issues by adding some addons or clicking some options.In FF57+, it is definitely NOT usability, anymore!As a matter of fact, FF57+ was obviously developed without regarding the users and their needs.

Rem.:I know exactly what thread you are referring to, regarding "my attitude" (I strongly suggest to have a look at yours and the ones of your "friends").I did exactly what the "how to" said (I did it many times), but it still didn't work, not even with a totally fresh installation,So, even knowing you won't get it this time either, anyway, I'm telling you once more, it was NOT my fault, that it didn't work.

S3 translator is great, I'm using it under the Opera browser.In addition to this plug-in, I also use "Auto Copy" plugin - select by mouse and insert it immediately into the clipboardBoth add-ons work in common work, but use 2 add-ons is unnecessarily

Would it be possible to add functionality "Select and Copy" without confirmation to clipboard?

I have translator 6.19 installed on this computer and like Thomas.Weber it will translate the whole page but not selected text or entered text, giving only 'Error connecting to server https://translate.google.com Try again.' I have 6.19 on another computer and it works perfectly with the same Linux OS and Firefox. I have downloaded 6.24 from dropbox but FF will not install it as it is unsigned. What can I do? This is such a good add-on that I would love to have it work!

I toggled the xpinstall.signatures.required setting in about:config which enabled me to install 6.24, which will now translate selected and entered text. Ghostery was blocking a tracker which stopped it translating the page but I've sorted that.
